The MK Series of home speakers from Dayton Audio are the best way to add rich sound with elegance and sophistication. Built to last, the MK series makes it easy to listen to for hours and hours with it non fatiguing sound. Enjoying audio has never been this easy.
The aesthetic appeal of the MK442 is unquestionable and the same can be said for its ability to provide the listener with fantastic sound quality. You are sure to be impressed with the performance of the MK442, along with its price.
The MK442s feature an attractive textured, black vinyl finish that stands out at first glance. The cabinet offers a unique geometric design that offers aesthetics not commonly found in this price range. The grill is removable and made with a high-quality black cloth that discretely obscures the most appealing features of this design, the drivers.
The MK442s are engineered to disappear and deliver a transparent lifelike performance. Each speaker has an incredible wide listening field to provide excellent detail from any position. The unique faceted baffle on the front of each speaker does more than look beautiful, but actually help compensate for excessive treble, providing a smooth and non-fatiguing experience.
Centerpiece of Your Home TheaterThe MK442 features an attractive textured black vinyl finish that stands out at first glance. The cabinet offers a unique geometric design for the baffle that sets it apart from much more basic speakers in its price range. The grill is removable and made with a high-quality black cloth that discretely obscures the most appealing features of this design, the drivers.
Elegant Silk Dome TweeterThe 3/4" tweeter is elegant with a very airy top-end that can be appreciated by anybody that enjoys the delicate side of music that is often left behind by most speakers. The dispersion from this tweeter provides a life-like ambiance that truly sets a scene in a movie.
Felt, And HeardThe woofers used in the MK442 are able to play down to 60 Hz with ease. A 4" woofer playing low frequencies would normally limit the upper frequency range, which is not the case here. The woofers play through a large portion of the vocal range, adding coherency and smoothness to voices.
More Than Just A CrossoverThe crossover featured in the MK442T utilizes a 3 kHz, 2nd order low pass and a 3rd order high pass section. The board is then affixed to the rear of the recessed terminal cup which features a pair of 5-way gold-plated binding posts. The crossover was designed and optimized to deliver the smoothest, flattest frequency response possible.
Here's What Our Customers Are SayingAwesome. Amazing at this price point. LOVE!"I’m a long time audiophile recently returned to the hobby. My goal was to assemble a system from vintage quality components (Adcom, NAD, Hafler, etc.) for under $500. The Dayton 442’s let me accomplish this and they sound, in a word, awesome. I’ll be buying a second pair for the kitchen. NOTHING comes close at this price point." Robert A.Don't Take Our Word For ItActually, Its Not Just Our Customers That Love The MK442s...Audioholics.com, 2018 Product of the Year: Budget Bookshelf Speaker
"…an LCR speaker that can be used as easily as a center channel speaker as front left/right channel speakers. The MK442 has a nicely balanced tonality, very good bass extension for the size and price, good power handling, with a benign electrical load…The Dayton Audio MK442s prove that the entry fee into good sound doesn't have to cost a small fortune."Specifications
